[ Upstream commit 34653fd8c46e771585fce5975e4243f8fd401914 ]
This commit got merged along with commit 781932375ffc ("ubi: fastmap: Correctly handle interrupted erasures in EBA") upstream but only the latter has been applied to stable v4.14.54 as commit a23cf10d9abb. This resulted in a performance regression. Startup on i.MX platforms is delayed for up to a few seconds depending on the platform. This fixes ubi fastmap to be of the same performance as it has been before said fastmap changes.

Richard, although this fixes a major slowdown regression in -stable, do you consider this "stable" too?
This applies and is tested only for the 4.14 stable tree. It seems to be equally relevant for 4.9 and 4.4 though.
Now queued up for 4.14.y, thanks.
